Captain Crecy

Post by helgi »

O Captain Crecy cringes not,

In faces that are dangerous,

And though he never has been shot,

He's never out of ranges,

And half the battles he has fought,

Have been half wit out-rages,

If history would have 'im taught,

We'd soon be out of pages!

Captain Crecy

this poem rhymes abababab, and... and the word out appears before the last 3 b rhymes, so caught(a) and out of cages (b) could have been worked in just as well. I only realized this afterwards.
